ISJNORANT
Judge Morris Comes Back in An
other Letter in Which He As
serts that Governor Is Not
Only Ignorant, but In
consistent.
e
Judge Morris has added another chap
ter to the Brown-Morris controversy,
which has been on for some time past,
in a letter which he writes from Ellijay
under date of November 29.
Judge Morris accuses Governor Brown
not only of being densely ignorant in re
g«-d to the law and the powers vested
tn him by law, but charges him with be
ing inconsistent.-
In regard to his discharge of a jury
1 in Cobb county for failure to bring in a
verdict to the evidence. Judge Morris
quotes hla order setting forth the faet
that the verdict of the jury was opposed
to the evidence and the precedent was
likely to lead to niore •'blind tigers” in
Marietta than now -exist. ► - '
He concludes Uy stating that Governor
Brown had better be careful in his ref
erences to the discharge of juries If he
does not wsnt to tread op "your' Unqle

Cobb Superior Court—March Adjourned
Tarm. IM3. ,
•The defendant in this case was put
upon trial. Henry Baldwin testified posi

defendant on different occasions, within
two years before the finding of this bill
of Indictment in the county of Cobb: Will
Bryant, another witness for the state, tes
tified that he saw Henry Baldwin buy
the whisky on one of the occasions testi

money for it; neither one of. these wit

offered no evidence, but made his state

made on the part of the officers of this
court to break up the illicit sale of whis

broken out in every corner; It Is impossi

to testify concerning these matters for the
reason that they do no visit or patronise

ALABAMA DEFEATS
PRODI AMENDMENT
Estimated that the Constitutional
Amendment Was Lost by the
Overwhelming Majority of
23,000 Votes.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Nov. 30.-With
official returns coming in slowly the fig
ures in hand indicate that the constitu
tional amendment for prohibition has
been defeated in Alabama by 22,300 major
ity. All of the larger counties in the
state returned big majorities against the
amendment. Including Jefferson, the
home county of Governor Comer, Judge
Weakley, candidate for governor and au
thor of the present prohibition laws in
the state; Brooks Lawrence, who came
to Alabama from Ohio as superintendent
of' the Anti-Saloon league of Alabama,
and Fred M. Jackson, state chairman Os
the amendment forces.
Jefferson went against the amendment
by over 1,700 majority. The majorities
for the amendment will total about 660,
while the majorities against the amend
ment will foot up 22.960., No reasons are
being assigned for the heavy majority
against the amendment for prohibition
save that a reaction in political ’condi
tions is on throughout the state and a re
covery is on in the moral wave that be
came drastic two years ago. Sixty-one
count lee returned majorities against the
amendment and six counties for It.
Gov. B. B. Comer, leader In the amend
ment campaign, did not wait for com
peted returns on the election, but loft
last night tor a short hunting trip in
Mississippi. Ho declined to issue a state
ment before ha |eft the city.
Today the temperance people them
selves are reoefvipg the blame for the
defeat of the amefidment. Counties which
have had prohibition for 26 years, voted
against the amendment, while in other
sections, it fa rteclared, the temperance
workers, feeling secure of victory, failed
to do the proper work at the polls.
( The defeat of the amendment is not
considered a stralghtout anti-prohibition
victory and it is not regarded as likely
that the state will again go back to con
ditions existing before the statewide law
teas adopted. However, modifications of
the present laws are expected by the next
legislature. 'i

Alabama to Remain
A Prohibition State
BIRMINGHAM. Ala., Nov. 30—Fred M.
Jackson, state chairman of the amend
ment campaign committee, today gave out
an interview In regard to the election
held tn Alabama yesterday, as follows:
•We do not yet know the vote cast
for the amendment," said Mr. Jackson,
"but it was all an honest and sincere and
legal vote, cast by men who were and
are in earnest about making prohibition
permanent in Alabama. The friends of
prohibition have nothing to regret in hav
ing made the fight and no reason for
being dlacouraged 'over the outcome. We
still have our prohibition laws in full
operation.
'Alabama will continue a prohibition
state. Ths liquor Interests will not con
trol in Alabama. That the liquor in
to rests will seek to elect the next gov
ernor and legislature goes without saying
and the next great fight of the prohibition
forces is to prevent that."

NEWELL MANSION BURNED;
HISTORIC LANDMARK GONE
Another historic Georgia landmark has
disappeared from the face of the earth.
The.old Newell family mansion at Mil
ledgeville was burned at an early hour
Tuesday morning. Heirlooms, family por
traits and a portion of the library were
saved, but the house itself was fatally
damaged.
Mr. Alfred C. Newell, of Atlanta, as
the present head of the Newell family,
went to Milledgeville Tuesday afternoon
to take charge of the pictures, the old
inahogany furniture, and the other valu
ables which it is understood were saved.
The Newell home was one of the oldest
and most typical ante-bellum mansions
of the colonial style in Georgia.
It was constructed in 1836. When the
state of Georgia decided to build its own
executive mansion in Milledgeville, archi
tects and builders were brought put from
New York and Boston. After the comple
tion of the old executive mansion, which,
from an artistic point M view, is proba
bly one of the most striking buildings in
the south, these builders were engaged by
Isaac Newell to construct this home.
It wan a typical colonial residence and
